Recently hopped into the world of Online Dating, at the request of one of my friends who thinks I need to get out there and stop being quite as much of a homebody, and it tossed a lot of my online reactions and interactions into sharp relief.

It's amazing, but even in a format where the ostensive goal is to meet and talk to people in a manner that facilitates meetings and interactions, there is the same kind of garbage that you see in all sorts of online interactions.
